Wulin Mysteries

Xiuyuan originally wanted to close his eyes and rest his mind, but he didn't expect to be careless for a while, and he was exhausted from eating and sleeping in the open for days, so he fell asleep again.When he woke up again, he saw that Ping An was looking at him with burning eyes, and looked at the chessboard again. He only took three steps.

It turned out that Ping An used retreat as an advance at the beginning, the first move seemed messy, but in fact the layout was cautious, and then they echoed each other, and the last move determined the world.The current situation is really wonderful, every place hides a mystery, Xiuyuan only regrets that he didn't watch the safe chess move with his own eyes, and is very annoyed.

Ping An just lowered his head and touched Xiu Yuan's fingertips. When the finger extended along the wound to the tiger's mouth, Xiu Yuan subconsciously took it away, looked at Shimen, and said at a loss: "We won the chess game, but we are still trapped in the here."

Peaceful but smiling, he walked to the side of the guqin, bent slightly, plucked the strings with his right hand, and pressed the strings with his left hand to get the tone. After several attempts, the sound was pure.

"Jiuxiaohuanpei?" Although Xiuyuan is not good at rhythm, he also knows that Jiuxiaohuanpei is an ancient artifact. It looks like an ordinary piano, but it can be used to change countless calamities.The whole body of this piano is purple-brown, translucent and thick. According to legend, it is made of a thousand-year-old tung tree as its face, fir as its base, and the tail hairs of twenty bloody BMWs as its strings.

There are even rumors that "Song Jin", the former leader of the secret guards of Tianyi Sect and a one-foot scholar, is the master of this guqin.Everyone knows that he ranks second in the weapon list, and he looks down on the world with his one-foot wolf, but they don't know that he has another weapon, which is even more frightening to say, the ancient Nine Heavens Ring Pendant.

Song Jin used this piano only once in his life when he encountered a strong enemy.In the battle along the Jinling River that year, he alone knew the 32 sects of the righteous way, a total of 110 three masters. , only 110 people remained.What happened at that time, these survivors are all secretive, so they have no way of knowing, but since then, the name of Tianyi Sect has become more resounding, and the "Demon Sect" has become more and more accurate.

However, Song Jin only used this magical weapon once, and later died in a foreign land, with only a wolf hair by his side.Many people said that if the Nine Heavens Ring was by his side at that time, he would not have died at all.

But the Nine Heavens Ring wears the aura of heaven and earth, so it is not suitable for drinking blood, and the thousand-year-old wood is extremely heavy and inconvenient to carry.When Song Jin died, he was only 28 years old, and even the righteous people were shocked.

This is well known to all, and there is another thing that few people know.

Qin Yuanxiu's mother, Yao Shuang, was a descendant of a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and worshiped under Qin Shan's family back then, so she was regarded as Qin Feng's junior junior sister.But by mistake, she fell in love with Song Jin at first sight. She was originally engaged to Qin Feng, but regardless of the secular etiquette, she secretly worshiped the world with Song Jin and married in private.That Qin Feng was left empty, Mr. Qin was furious, and immediately re-arranged a marriage, asking him to marry the Huang family.

After Song Jin died tragically, Yao Shuang was disheartened, and when Qin Feng lost his wife, he married one after another.Everyone in the Jianghu said that Qin Fengxuan married his younger junior sister, and the piano and harp played harmoniously, which was enviable.But I don't know the reason, the two were originally engaged, but Yao Shuang repented and remarried first.Later, the old man Qin Shan gradually stopped asking about common matters, coupled with his son's insistence, he reluctantly agreed to this marriage.

Besides, when Xiu Yuan blurted out, Nine Heavens Ring Wearing, Ping An couldn't help being surprised when he heard it, and smiled appreciatively.This piano has a wide range of sound, and you can try it one by one in peace. When it is urgent, it is like a waterfall in Linyuan, and when it is slow, it is like a spring water ding-dong.

Xiu Yuan only felt that his mind was completely occupied by the sound of the piano, and he could not help but learn to sit on the ground safely, looking at the past foolishly.

Peace has not yet begun.He was thinking about which piece to play.

Before Xiuyuan came back to his senses, he re-tuned the strings, and the sound of the piano came. It was obviously in a deep and dark cave, but Xiuyuan seemed to be at the source of a gurgling stream, with spring and scenery, fish Birds are at ease, green water and green mountains in the distance, empty valleys and orchids, a beautiful scene.

Ping An's fingertips moved slightly, the spring was even worse, and Xiu Yuan felt warm in his heart.Suddenly, the sound of the piano turned sharply, the reverberation was deafening, it suddenly passed by the ear, and went straight to the brain.Cultivating edge actually has the feeling of internal force resonating with it, the sound of the zither is urgent, the internal force in his chest and abdomen circulates around the whole body, it becomes more and more urgent, and the sound of the zither is slow, his breath gradually stabilizes.

However, with the half pot of wine in his stomach just now, he felt that his breath was out of tune, so he could only walk around with the sound of the piano and let it control him.The sound of the zither was like a silver bottle being broken suddenly, the water slurry burst, and the repairing edge could not be restrained any longer, and he moved his kung fu slowly, and slapped his palm on the raised stone wall, and the stone shattered instantly.He was astonished, looking at Ping An speechless.

Judging from the brokenness of the stone, his internal strength has increased by more than ten times.

Looking at it again, the door of the stone chamber was smashed to pieces by the sound of the zither, and the sound of the collapse was covered by the sound of the zither, Xiu Yuan didn't notice it at all, but looking at it now, I feel terrified.

There used to be a small door inside the stone gate, but it was much more exquisite.Two people walked over, it has been opened, the marble surface is shiny, and Wenlong is carved on the four corners.Ping An glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and probably saw his appearance from the mirror-like stone gate. His face was festering more and more, but he still didn't pay much attention to it. He just paid special attention to Xiu Yuan's injured right hand. Once touched, they stepped in together.

Xiuyuan now understood that when Ping An first played chess, the chess game came back from the dead, which probably touched the first mechanism, causing the delicate door to open automatically. Later, when the Guqin met a bosom friend, a song of high mountains and flowing water shattered the second thousand-jin stone gate. So I was able to enter the secret room to find out.

When they entered, they looked at each other in amazement.

Originally thought that the space inside is extremely small, but a small secret room, or leads to other places.

Now that I have a look, I know that there is everything in it, such as sealed storage of water and dry food, a stone bed, and a pool measuring one foot square. When I repaired the edge, I found that it was crystal clear. This is stagnant water, and no one has replaced it for many years. , somehow so clean.

What is even more amazing is that the three walls of this secret room are made of stone, and the other side is actually made of ice.Words were vaguely engraved on the inner layer of the ice stone, but I didn't know what it was written on.

Xiuyuan guessed that the secret room built along the waterfall was probably related to the "One Foot Scholar" Song Jinda, otherwise why would his Nine Heavens Ring Pendant fall here.

Ping An brought snacks and water, sat on the stone bed with Xiu Yuan, and ate one by one.

The dim sum has been stored here for more than ten years, but it still looks exquisite, the white noodles are soft, and the mouth is even more dense and sweet, with a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, and there is a fragrance in it.

And the clear water in that altar is sweeter and more delicious, even the running water by the stream can't compare to it.

The two rested for a while, and Ping An took Xiu Yuan to the ice stone, touched the wall with one hand, and turned to look at him again.

"You asked me... to try to crush it?" Xiu Yuan asked in doubt, but Ping An unexpectedly nodded, his eyes became brighter.

Xiu Yuan was also very curious, but firstly, he lacked internal energy, facing the whole ice wall was no different from shaking a tree by a mayfly; secondly, they entered other people's territory, damaged the stone gate, and had already disrespected their seniors after eating refreshments Well, it would be a heinous crime to destroy the wall again.

However, Ping Anyan looked at him with a smile, as if giving him strength, and asked him to put aside the red tape and try his best, why not?

Cultivate the edge and exercise enough internal energy, but feel that the warm current in the whole body still exists, gathers in the dantian, flows through the two channels of Ren and Du, walks in the meridians, passes through Guanyuan point, Fengchi point, etc., and returns to the dantian after a week.He mobilized his inner breath, and struck hard with his palm. With a crisp sound, the ice stones fell to pieces on the ground.

With his palms up, Xiu Yuan looked down at his hands in disbelief. He thought that he was led by the sound of the piano before, so that his internal strength soared.Now think about it calmly, probably there is a famous person in the half pot of wine. After drinking it, his internal energy increased greatly, but he couldn't control it by himself. Ping An guided him with the sound of the piano and helped him adjust his breath. Now he can operate freely.

He had to look at Ping An with admiration. It is hard to find in the world that he can be integrated with the Nine Heavens Pendant. While smashing the stone gate, he also helped himself to regulate his inner breath. How many masters in the world can do both? do it?

But until now, Ping An still has no internal strength, saying that he hit it by mistake, or came from a famous family, knew chess records and guqin, and just cracked the mechanism, and he didn't believe it.

But Ping'an couldn't speak, and couldn't ask him, so he couldn't hide the surprise in his heart. He barely looked away from Ping'an, but he saw that behind the broken ice wall was the same stone wall as the other three sides. It is full of words.

Xiuyuan saw that the font was vigorous and powerful, written in Xiaozhuan, and the title was actually the three characters "Minglan Jing"!

However, looking at the first sentence again, "According to the preface, the internal breath, fine-tuning into the abdomen, and enlightening the future luck." Xiuyuan looked carefully, and found that the scriptures on the wall were missing half, probably the second half, Missing the first half.But that day when the master handed over the scriptures to him and Xiu Yuan carefully hid them on his body, he touched the "Minglan Sutra" and felt extremely weird. This scripture is not only extremely thin, but also has uneven binding. Half of the book is missing, because it was torn off.

At the same time, Ping An is also watching the wall carefully.He was concentrating on contemplation, and after a long time, he stretched out his hand and drew with his fingertips, starting from the second sentence of "Minglan Sutra", across the wall, pointing to the penultimate sentence, and then looking at Xiuyuan.

Xiu Yuan spent these days with him, although he didn't realize it himself, but in fact, he and Ping An became more and more tacit, as if they had a tacit understanding, and they understood each other.

"You mean, let me practice from here until the third last sentence?"

Ping An nodded slowly, but Xiu Yuan hesitated, and only said in a low voice: "This Minglan Sutra is the secret book of our temple. Without the master's permission, how could I learn it secretly? What's more, I was entrusted by his old man to send it to Shaolin. This scripture. Now that the master and brothers are gone, the first half of the scriptures are also missing..." He paused for a moment, because he didn't want to explain what happened a month ago, especially with Padmasambhava and Tianyi Sect. The twists and turns of grievances and grievances are directly blurred.

Naturally, Ping An would not ask him, but just quietly listened to him.

Xiuyuan said again: "If I secretly learn the secret books at this time, wouldn't I be a traitor and be despised by others?" Ping An touched his head, just laughed it off, and continued to look at the wall.

Xiu Yuan stood aside, although Ping An didn't say a word, his heart was very excited.Once the master's revenge was not avenged, it is inevitable to feel sad and depressed when mentioning it at this time.Secondly, he himself is not very pedantic, he has already broken eighty to ninety percent of the forest rules and regulations, and when he saw Ping An's slightly smiling eyes just now, in addition to comforting him, he seemed to be saying, forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't practice.

The idea of ​​cultivating the edge turned around eight or nine times, and finally figured it out.Since he is a surviving disciple of Lingyin Temple, he should take on the important task of thoroughly studying the only remaining martial arts unique knowledge, so that he can use it when he encounters enemies in the future.Furthermore, the second half of the "Minglan Sutra" was not entrusted to him by his master. It was engraved in this cave. He came here by chance and broke through many obstacles with Ping An. try.

Thinking of this, Xiu Yuan couldn't help saying: "Ping An, I... I will try my best to learn."

Hearing this, Ping An didn't turn around, and let him go a little farther, gather energy, and start grinding from the second sentence according to the words on the stone wall.

Xiuyuan only felt that the tenfold increase in internal strength just now was of great benefit. In just half a day, he had already acquired two mental techniques, but because the surroundings of this secret room were tightly packed, unlike an open place, he still dared not let go of the practice.

When he was practicing, Pingan retreated to the corner, did not rest, just sat cross-legged on the stone bed, closed his eyes and concentrated, as if he was adjusting his breath.But he has no internal strength, he is young, and he has no strength to restrain a chicken, this movement is really weird.Xiu Yuan only looked sideways for a moment, then he couldn't control his breath immediately, his stomach was churning, and with a "wow", he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Pingan immediately raised his eyes to look at him, and there seemed to be anxiety and worry in his eyes.

Xiu Yuan wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and only smiled at Ping An:

"I was distracted."

Ping An didn't say a word, his expression relaxed, and he closed his eyes to recuperate.

Xiuyuan continued to observe the mental method. He didn't know if he could finish the second half without the foundation of the first half of the "Minglan Sutra". But now the two of them are trapped here, but they can't get out. And the food is quite rich, enough to last for half a month, it is better to concentrate on studying, maybe there will be some benefits.

Thinking about it like this, Xiuyuan tried his best, but the mental method became more and more obscure as he went on. It took him almost twice as long to practice half a stage of the mental method as the first three stages, and some changes occurred in himself, and his body became colder and colder. There was a sense of coldness all over his body, but the internal force in his chest and abdomen was getting stronger.

In the twinkling of an eye it was night, even if the stone room was airtight, with only a fire pocket and an ever-burning lamp, no matter day or night, as soon as Xiuyuan's stomach couldn't bear it, he would know the time.

After sharing the pastry with Ping An, he couldn't bear it anymore, leaned against the inner side of the stone bed, curled up and fell asleep.

That night he actually dreamed of Lotus and Peanut, and it was an unspeakable dream. The two of them were ecstasy, and the feeling of eating marrow and taste was really fascinated. A certain emotion that had been hidden in the body for a long time quietly germinated and flowed with the blood. Limbs and bones all over.

When he woke up, besides blaming himself, there was no peace around him, and when he looked again, he jumped into the clear water pool at some point, like a free-spirited fish, faintly visible, sometimes swimming on the water, and sometimes diving under the water.

Xiu Yuan called out casually:

"Safety!"

He surfaced again, with water dripping from his neck, although he was young, his body was strong and strong.Ping An walked around in the pool, his waistline was just at the same level as the surface of the pool, but what happened at the bottom of the pool was covered by a pool of spring water, so it was unknown.

Xiu Yuan didn't care, he seemed relieved:

"I had a dream. When I woke up, I found that you had disappeared." When talking about the dream, Xiu Yuan was obviously uncomfortable, with his back against the wall, and he didn't look at Ping An.

Ping An just looked at him. Although this young man had bruises everywhere on his face, standing in the water with his bare upper body like this, there was an incomprehensible deep meaning in his eyes, showing a calmness that did not match his age. It's overwhelming.

Xiu Yuan turned his head and stopped looking at him.Ping An came up from the water and walked in front of him, and Xiu Yuan realized that he was not naked.

Just as Xiu Yuan was about to speak, he saw that Ping An's face was abnormal, not only his face, but also his whole body was blushing. Although his eyes were calm, after a quick glance at Xiu Yuan, he deliberately lowered his eyes to cover up the brilliance in his eyes.

Regardless of his naked body, Xiu Yuan grabbed his hand and squeezed it, his palm was hot.

"Are you catching a cold?"

Ping An shook his head, Xiu Yuan touched his face and neck with the back of his hand, it was also hot.

It turned out that he stayed in the pool for so long just to make himself feel better!Xiu Yuan guessed that it wasn't because he was sick and caught a cold, maybe his abnormal body was related to the festering on his face, maybe he was poisoned, or got some weird Gu.

But no matter what, he couldn't stay in the pool all the time.Xiu Yuan stepped aside from the stone bed, got up and held Ping An down, and let him lie down: "Rest first, I will find a way to cool you down!"

Ping An actually listened to him very much, and obediently lay on the side of the stone bed. The high temperature on his body made him feel close to the wall. After all, he was young, with his back turned to him, hands and feet curled up, finally exuding a cuteness suitable for his age.Seeing him shrinking into a ball, Xiu Yuan felt uncomfortable, so he stroked his hair: "Wait, don't move around."

Xiu Yuan took off his clothes, walked to the clear water pool, washed them clean, then wrung them dry, and wrapped them around Ping An's body, hoping to make him feel better.

Ping An looked straight at Xiu Yuan, meaning that it would be cold in this cave at night, so don't let him do this.

Xiuyuan ignored him, and after wrapping him up, he sat next to Pingan and combed his hair with his fingers: "If you are tired, you can close your eyes and sleep for a while, maybe the fever will subside the next day when you wake up. .”

Ping An pushed his palm away, although he didn't look at him, he used his fingertips instead of eyes, and caressed the wound on his palm carefully. The blood stopped a long time ago, and scabs had begun to form. The scars were ugly and rough. Edge was so itchy that he retracted his hands.

Although the two of them are both naked now, they have never been so open and natural for a moment, free of distracting thoughts and cares.
